LEEDS POULTRY SHOW. 



Und>:r the management of Mr. Swales, who is one of the most 

 obliging of honorary secretaries, and a very attentive committee of 

 management, the Leeds Show annually becomes more and more popu- 

 lar ; the collection of poultry, Pigeons, and Rabbits shown on the 

 13th, 14th, and 15th inst., being a great improvement over those of 

 years gone by. The attention paid to the comforts and necessities of 

 the birds exhibited was all that could be desired. 



Very rarely have such good classes of Game fowls been brought 

 together at any show, the only drawback being the great difficulty ex- 

 perienced by the Judges in taking out any of the birds for the purpose 

 of close examination, as the front wirework ran the whole length of 

 the row of pens. The silver cup for Game fowls was taken by an 

 excellent and well-shown pen of adult Duckwings. A considerable 

 proportion of the Dorfcings were evidently much the worse from beittg 

 too frequently exhibited ; a few pens that were decidedly " roupy " 

 appeared in this division of the Show. One of the most perfect varie- 

 ties of poultry shown were the Spanish ; in fact, there was scarcely a 

 pen of anything like inferior quality in the whole lot. This season's 

 birds proved to be the winners of the cup. Some extraordinarily good 

 Cochin and Brahma fowls were shown, but not in the condition for 

 exhibition that might at this season be reasonably expected. In 

 Class 4'2, Any variety of Cochin chickens, pens 4'2"2 and 423, being the 

 first and second-prize pens, were so evenly balanced as to qmality that 

 the Judges were long in bringing their award to a conclusion. It was 

 the closest run seen for many years. The Hamburghs fully supported 

 the high repute of the district, and the classes throughout were un- 

 exceptionably good ; a remarkably fine pen of Golden-spangled 

 chickens took the cup. The Polish was all shown together, and such 

 a display is but rarefy to be seen anywhere. Blacks with white crests 

 took the first prize, and the Golden and Silver-feathered were scarcely 

 less worthy of note. In the "Variety class," Creve-Coeurs and 

 Hondans divided the prizes between them. Among the Game Bantams, 

 a pen of perfect Brown Reds took the cup, being more correct in feather 

 than any that have yet been exhibited. The Waterfoid and TurJceys 

 were a first-rate collection, Mr. Burn's pen of Buenos Ayrean Ducks 

 that took precedence, being iu such show-trim as is rarely equalled. 



The Pigeons were better than have ever before been seen at the 

 Leeds Show, but were placed far too high for general inspection, this 

 tier being raised some S or 9 feet from the ground, so that ladies, par- 

 ticularly, could scarcely get a glimpse of them. As this portion of a 

 show is usually one of the most interesting to visitors, an alteration 

 in the arrangement in future year3 would be most advisable. Carriers 

 took the silver cup for the best pen of Pigeons exhibited. 



At leaat equal to that of any former year, if not in excess, was the 

 attendance on the first day of opening to the public, and on the follow- 

 ing, we are informed, so well filled was the Show that it was difficult to 

 move about.
